Brrrr .it is April 1 and the thermometer in Portland before I left the house said 42 degrees, are you kidding me? It actually warmed up to a balmy 53 in Corvallis, but it was still cold as the Beavers hit the turf at Reser for a full day of practice, once again without pads.

Only the second day, the team is practicing very spirited already which makes it fun to watch. There is a lot of competition brewing out there, all of which will make everyone better.
